    I saw this http://www.thinkgeek.com/stuff/41/squeez-bacon.html
    And I thought it was absolutely amazing. I've yet to actually try some; but it does save your hands/arms getting burnt by the grease from the frying pan!

    If you don't want to get splattered by grease spits, then you don't deserve bacon.

    thats a feckin disgrace. squeezy bacon? craziness.

    I jump a mile when I get grease and fat popping and jumping out
    of the pan, but I had a run in with a chip pan when young that still gives me nightmares.
    If I can handle it, anyone can.

    I'll not have this crazyness on lifehacking, it's not the lazy forum!!

    If anyone wants to post where you can get nice hickory smoked rashers
    that don't leak white fluid when cooked then thats the kind of life changing
    stuff we need. I've tried various 'dry cured' ones, but they appear to use
    some kind of process that allows them to call them dry cured but the bacon
    still picks up loads of water.



    Having said all that, I'd try that stuff out if anyone knows where to get it.
    It must be like sauce with bacon bits?

    If you know of or can find a butcher who processes the animal himself this is the place to source your bacon, mind you there are not many about.

    For me I don't use salt on anything but I do love a rasher so I went to all the local butchers to see if I could get some with low salt only to find out that they all get there bacon from factories:mad: I would say its pretty much the same everywhere gl in your search.

    Crazy, It's because the bacon industry is allowed a percentage water and it is higher than what is normally in bacon, so they inject water into it 'cos it is free and they get the extra weight.

    Bullcrap, it's not Swedish nor does it look anything close to tasty
    Just marketing lies. Lillefläsk means "Little pork"

    Did you know that it's rumored ABBA met while eating Squeez Bacon® sandwiches? And even IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad (we've heard) never travels without a case! He loves it on his American style meatballs. Ojojoj!
    :mad:

    In the immortal words of Vilhelm Lillefläsk, "Aldrig kommer att ge dig upp!" This refers to Never gonna give you up (Rickroll)

    Jesus Christ! Squeezy bacon that's just gross.

    If you are worried about getting splashed with grease from a frying pan why don't you just stick it under the grill?

    or just get an anti spatter guard for your pan
